The House is now in a rare Saturday session for the government health care takeover ram down.

Keep a close eye on the vulnerable Democrats listed here by USA Today. Here is their current tally of House Dems voting no:

The New York Daily News has just published a statement from hometown Rep. Michael McMahon, D-N.Y. He’s in the no column. “I believe the net negatives of this bill outweight the positive effects,” McMahon says.

Five of those announcements came today. All of the lawmakers who announced opposition cited concerns about the price tag of the legislation, estimated by the Congressional Budget Office to be more than $1 trillion over 10 years.

“After months of thoroughly reviewing legislative proposals and speaking with constituents and stakeholders, I am not satisfied that this bill before us is a sustainable solution,” said Rep. Frank Kratovil, D-Md. Alert readers will remember that he was the congressman hung in effigy during the height of the August town hall meeting uproar.

The other three Democratic freshmen from McCain districts who announced their opposition to the health care bill Friday are: Reps. Bobby Bright of Alabama, Walt Minnick of Idaho, and Suzanne Kosmas of Florida. Two who announced their opposition earlier: Reps. Travis Childers of Mississippi and Parker Griffith of Alabama. All but Griffith have announced their opposition since Election Day, when Democrats suffered humiliating defeats in the New Jersey and Virginia governors races.

Update 10:41am Eastern. GOP Rep Tom Price says the final vote looks it will take place at 6pm Eastern. House is taking care of other business right now. Then there will be a vote on motion to proceed on govt health care debate. There will reportedly be 1 hour of debate; unspecified time set aside to debate GOP alternative; vote on Stupak amendment; then final vote.

Greg Mueller tweets that Obama will meet Dems at 11am at the Cannon House building. His sources tell him Dems still don’t have the votes.

Update 11:06am Eastern. A parade of female Democrats are using the House resolution process to play the gender card on Pelosicare and eat into general debate time through unanimous consent requests. GOP Reps are objecting. Chair John Dingell shutting up GOP reps. Repubs want an extension of an hour on debate to balance the female Dem circus.

A female Republican rep is objecting. Dingell is ignoring her.

GOP Rep. Culberson asks for extension of an hour on debate. Request ignored.

GOP Rep Tom Price points out that unanimous requests must not include significant embellishments. Dingell disputes him and then ignores Price’s further parliamentary inquiry.

Rep. Stupak: Health care has the votes whether anti-abortion amendment passes or fails. Rep. Bart Stupak (D-Mich.) told reporters that regardless of the outcome of the vote on his amendment, which would severely restrict coverage of reproductive health issues, the House health care bill is headed for passage. He is whipping support for the amendment and estimates he has 225 votes. If he’s right, the amendment will pass, and he predicted enough pro-life Democrats will vote yes on the final bill to put it over the top. But if it fails, he said, enough pro-lifers will have been satisfied to have had their vote on the floor that they’ll turn around and support the final bill anyway.

Update 4:45pm Eastern. Boehner exposes phoniness of Stupak amendment. Asks Rangel if it passes, will Ds guarantee that it stays in the final bill.

Rangel snottily says that such a guarantee might be an ethics violation.

Yes, Rangel balking at possible “ethics” violation.

Chutzpah.

Key issue now: Will pro-life Dems go along with the Kabuki Stupak amdnt vote knowing that the federal abortion ban will not survive negotiations?
